Down To Earth All Natural Fertilizers Organic Prilled Dolomite Lime - Calcium Magnesium Carbonate Raises Soil pH for Vegetable Gardens, 5 lb

This has been instrumental in slowly bringing up the ph on my citrus tree's oil. I didn't want to aggressively do it and this helped out a lot. All of their products have been high quality, I highly recommend.

I bought dolomite lime for my coco coir and peat based potting mix I do myself because i got tired of expensive pre-made mixes. I used miracle grow for a while but always had problems no matter which mix i bought. I found miracle grows traditional "indoor potting mix" with coco coir peat moss and basically composted leaves and forest materials with perlite and a wetting agent. This brand worked best if mixed with coco coir or it stays too wet too long and if that didn't kill my plants then eventually -and very quickly, the mix goes bad becomes really acidic and nutrient deficiencies become really hard to balance. So made my own potting mix mostly coco coir with so sphagnum peat moss for moisture retention pumice perlite and volcanic rocks for aeration, helps stabilize pH with volcanic rock and pumice and keep coco coir from compacting and returning to a brick when drying out for plants like my jade and pencil cacti that prefer longer periods in drier soil mix. Also added shredded aged and hardened pine bark. Aged and hardened because aging makes it so it doesn't cause nutrient competition and hardening already aged pine prevents break down from happening as quickly and can last years and rice hulls. Anyway I was having a really hard time with the calcium magnesium issues coco coir causes. Whether it's stealing all of it from the plant or getting too much which causes salt build up and acidified soil that dumps nutrients like iron. Using calcium magnesium nutrient is difficult to keep track of what's enough what's too much. Especially when using.a proper fertilizer that has all nutrients your plants need to stay healthy because I make a soil mix with no nutrients for plants whatsoever. This way I'm in control of feeding. Rather than miracle grows pre fertilized mixes. You never know how much and how quickly those nutrients are used with every watering or when it's time to start adding fertilizer yourself. So I bought dolomite to control any pH swings that cause soil to become too acidic which happens a lot with peat based potting mixes, coco coir can cause so many problems if not given a regular steady dose of calcium and magnesium to keep it from stealing it from the plants and becoming too acidic. Dolomite lime gives consistent calcium and magnesium so my regular fertilizer with its small amount if cal-mag as well as all the other micro and macro nutrients plants need will work just fine. No more worrying about pH levels every watering no more messing with cal-mag solutions, just normal feeding of the plants and so far so good. No more discolored leaves dying plants from acidic soil, no more worrying every time i have to feed my plants. This is the perfect brand because it's not a big bag of fine powdered dolomite lime that will dissolve away and be used up extremely quick while dust clouds threaten lung health that is already compromised. Ninthese are perfect little beads of dolomite that mix into potting mix very easily and will last months longer

This is top-notch product. It worked really well and fast.

Works well for aroids, gives them a nice nutrient boost for the minerals that a lot of common fertilizers lack. The smell is quite strong, after opening I had to seal in a bigger ziploc bag just to keep it contained. If you’re only using small amounts here and there, the smell is unnoticeable, but definitely keep it sealed up when you’re not using it. Other than that good produce 👍

This product works great for adding pH buffering capacity back into old soil, as well as for top dressing in order to give your plants calcium and magnesium. I like that Down To Earth releases their third party testing data for their products so you can know what you're actually getting.

Great for your grow room. It keeps your ph in check.

good quality and works as it should

Great soil amendment
